No one always is perfect and does the right thing, even Albert Einstein, Christopher Coloumbus and even Abraham Lincoln for everyone makes mistakes That is why we must make the right decision when in danger, when in stress or any other situation. Now we are going to reveal to you a story on doing the right thing and making the right choice......
The blazing inferno was hanging in the sky and its magnificent light rays shone across my room. I walked out of my room and brushed my teeth. I got ready for school before taking a five minute walk there, dragging my feet along the pavement half-asleep, when I gathered at the hall for morning assembly I took out my newest action packed book and read it. When it was lesson time, time seemed like it was dragged. The teachers' monotonous tone almost caused the students to catch forty winks, I could hardly wait for school to end. How I longed to hear the school's dismissal bell to ring! At last, after what seemed like eternity, school was over and I headed back to my house whistling a merry tune that I created when I saw a man wearing dark sunglasses and a helmet with its hood down walking into a dark alley, he had a suspicious looking sling-bag on his shoulders. Out of curiousty , I followed the man whom my eyes spotted, he seemed like he was grinning away. As I followed stealthily behind, I spotted another man entering the dark alley from the opposite side of the man I was following. When they were face to face I saw one of them taking out a whole packet of some thing that seemed like herione, a type of drug while the other guy was taking out rolls of money from his pocket which was nearly enough to last me for almost a year! Holy Mackerel, what the heck! One of the man was in a policeman suit which meant that he was a corrupt policeman which was a illegal drug trafficker who looked like he was bribed by somebody to trade their drugs for money.
Just then, the man who was holding money in his hands turned his head around and scanned the surroundings. Luckily, I hid behind a dustbin not too far from the two "mysterious" people and out of their sight. The guy holding the heroine had questioned the other guy,"Did you tell anyone about this...you better not. For if the police find out, you will be sorry alright!" He held out a butcher's knife and held it in front of the other guy's throat. "I...d...id....ddd...nnn...ot.." he stammered in fear. I was scared out of my wits,"They are drug traffickers! But I must not run away now for if they catch me and...Oh I don't want to think about it,"I whispered to myself in a state of panic. My face was drained of blood and fear was written all over my face. "Oh dear, what in the world am I going to do, last year, I met a school bully which was burly and liked to beat me up and take my food and things away and now this, how unlucky can I ever get. I would be considered very lucky if I leave this place alive." I grumbled in a voice that only I could hear to myself, there was no way I was going to escape. I could have run away and escaped but drug trafficking was unforgivable! So now what! I thought of a completely absurd plan that was the stupidest thing you had ever heard of but trust me, you would also do the same thing if you had the guts. My plan was to charge out of the dark alley but the illegal drug traffickers may run after me and even kill me! I was in a frenzy. A really bad one.
As I hid near the bin, my mind whirred into action, I fished out my phone and dailed 999 and took out my badminton racket from its case which I brought to school for Physical Education. As I whispered at my softest voice to the police through the phone, I got ready to whack the drug traffickers if they came to wallop me up. Suddenly, a third man came and spotted me, he caught a glimpse of me and cleched his fists. He shouted,"You little nosey creep! I am going to let you see the last thing of your life, us!" I screamed in horror as I was talking to the police. I imediately ended the call even before telling the policeman what happened, the three burly,sturdy and bully-like men walked towards me cracking their knuckles and said,"If you dare to tell us on, we will beat you to pulp and you will not even be able to even lift your helpless finger.""For heavens sake, please get me the hell out here!" I shouted desperately, but to no avail. There was no escape, I was trapped! I held out my racket and charged like a bull at the matador and banged into the guy holding the cash. I swung my badiminton racket as if I was Achillesin the battle of Troy. Luckily, I was in the track and field team, the racket banged into his head and he fell down unconsious. This is something crazy and completely stupid and should have never ever done this. I charged at the drug traffickers. Miaracles happen, and so the two of then fell down, though they were still consious. The two bullies struggled to get up, giving me some time to escape.
The police arrived at the scene and held their pistols. As soon as the drug traffickers got on their feets and ran in all directions, though they confused the police, they were still outsmarted and the police blocked the alley, they were trapped. But just before the three of them were caught, one of them held me in front of them. He held a knife at my throat." Drop your guns or I will kill this little flaky creep!" The policeman dropped their guns and put their hands in the air.
I bit the drug trafficker and he flinched in pain. He threw me to the ground and my view blurred and then......it was black. Then I woke up in the hospital with a bandage on my head. The police questioned me and told me that the drug traffickers had ran away. The thought of me getting wallop and bashed up made me shiver with fright.

At Ang Mo Kio MRT Station
It was the last day of the school term, so my parents let me stay out with my friends till the late afternoon. So together with Minghui and Albert, we took a bus to the train station. When the train was approaching the platform, it sounded its blasting horn. I was shocked to see someone squatting on the tracks. I knew that the driver would not be able to stop in time but the person can move aside. The driver turned on the Emergency Brakes and blasted the horn. I looked at the person on the tracks again, carefully this time. Oh my! He is Albert! I shouted to tell him to move aside. He stood up with trembling legs and quickly shove aside. The train was approximately 30 metres from the station. The train stopped halfway through the station. The screeching sound of the brakes frightened some commuters on the platform. Albert, fortunately, was safe. The train driver accelerated again, and stopped at the normal spot. After the train departed the station slowly, some of the station staff went onto the tracks and assisted Albert back onto the platform. Minghui and I were waiting for him. After he calmed down, he told me that an Indian boy was running around and dashed past him. In order to avoid a collision, he moved closer to the edge, unaware of the danger awaiting him. He lost his balance and fell onto the tracks. He was then aware about the danger awaiting him. 'Doomed.' was the phrase in his mind. After hearing my words, he acted hastily. When the train passed by him, he said that the breeze was very strong, so strong that if he did not hold the metal bar tight enough, he would be flung further away. He was glad that he was safe. We boarded the next train and proceeded to the Long John Silvers fast food restaurant at Northpoint to celebrate. I seemed to be the hero of the day, but I believe that Albert, Minghui and I will always remember this incident.

Today was the big day! I was real nervous. For the first time on my school history, we had qualified for the quarter finals. Coach Johnson was with us for the team talk. "Everyone, I am plaesd with you for bringing the school to the quarters. I am sure that we can carry on to even win the championship. So stay sharp and focused. If we win, praise the Lord. If we lose we'll try again next year. Let's get movin'." As we ran out onto the field, our school supporters roared. Our opponents, nicknamed "Giants" ran onto the pitch as well. "Oh my God." Jonathan whispered. His mouth hung wide open at the sight of them. "They're really giants." I felt as if I was a tiny ant, going to be squashed by them. Although I was nervous, I was eagerly anticipating the match. I really coudn't wait to start the first down. Our captain, Jeremy gave a last minute encouragement. "It's going to be tough. But we've got to stop them right here. Push 'em back." We got into position and Dylan punted the ball into the air. Jeremy caught it at the 34 yard line and passed it Jonathan. Jonathan was swamped by defenders the moment he caught the ball. Before he fell, he threw the ball in an attempt to clear it. Ernest caught the ball and raced towards the end zone. The "Giants" were closing in on him. Sprinting hard Ernest ran faster and faster. Suddenly, one of the defenders behind him leaped foward and brought Ernest down at the 15 yard line. We were so close. We lined up going on our second down. Facing our opponents, Joshua with the ball snapped it behing through his legs. And the line charged, pushing at each other. I was knocked down as a muscled boy pushed me aside. Nelson the reciever, passed it to Jacob who was racing down the pitch. Arms outstretched, Jacobcaught the ball. But a defender, charging like a bull collided with him and sent him tumbling to the floor. Third down. "Field goal unit!" shouted Coach Johnson. David caught the ball while I and the others pushed back the defence. David set the ball in front of Dylan and running foward, Dylan kicked the ball. Flying high in the sky, the ball hurtled towards the goal. Goal! The ball had passed through the posts! We slapped Dylan a high five each and praised him of his superb shot. The score read 3-0. Back to the middle. The "Giants" started off by punting it foward. Their players ran foward. Joshua caught the ball before the "Giants" reached it. Throwing it for a pass, the ball flew across the players and into Jonathan's hands. Jonathan dodged a defender that was bearing down on him before tossing the ball to me. I started on run down the flank. A player leapt at me. Attempting to outrun him I sprinted foward. His hand fell short of an inch from my foot. "Phew," I muttered to myself. "That was a close shave." But I had no time to waste as a wall had formed in front of me. I searched for a teammate, my eyes scanning over the pitch. Joshua was quite close. Quickly I threw the ball to him. "Aaargh!" I shouted. As a "Giant" loped fowards and caught the ball out of the air. Running, he neared our end zone. "Wham!" Ernest had charged straight at him, butting him in the stomach and caught the ball as the "Giant" fumbled with the ball. "Go!Go!Go!" I yelled. Ernest did a foward pass to Jeremy, Jeremy dodged a opponent, only to face another. The "Giant" slammed his shoulder at Jeremy's chest. Jeremy fell to the floor with a sickening crunch. The whistle blew. "Oh No," I thought as I ran to Jeremy's side.

Giving a hand
"Ring!" The loud blare of my alarm clock woke me up from my slumber. I crawled from my bed and staggered to the bathroom to brush my teeth. My hair was completely messed up and I was so sleepy... " Why can't they start school in the afternoon! It is so unfair! Why did mom make me go to school at this time! When it is only 6 in the morning" I muttered to myself. "Josh! Come down for breakfast!"yelled Mom. I changed into my school attire and slumbered down the flight of stairs as if I was drunk. I quickly munched down my bowl of cold cereal and after getting ready, I trudged towards school. On the way I saw a pool of blood and out of curiousity, I followed the trail. To my horror I spotted a injured boy on the concrete pavement. His clothes had patches of mud on it and it looked as if he was a beggar. Passer-by just simply igonered the poor boy. I dropped my school bag and rushed forward to help him. " What happened?" I asked. The boy replied," When I was cycling along the road to school, someone dropped a can of coke on the floor and I did not spot the can. Then, by the time I had spotted it, it was too late." I looked at his school unifrom and realized that he was in the same school as me. Without thinking, I sprinted towards the nearest pharmacy to buy some medicine. I ran back to the boy and treated his leg. I did not even know that I was already late for school! I let the small boy lean on my back while I walk to school. When I reached school, I finally realized that I was nearly a hour lated for school! I walked towards the general office.
When I reached the general office, a lady dressed in green immediately asked," What happened" She picked up a first aid kit and treated his bad leg, while I explained to her the long story. I walked on class and when I knocked on the door, I covered my ears, ready for a long lecture. The teacher walked towards me and asked me why in the world was I in such a sorry state. I lied to him, scared that he was going to scold me. But still, he gave me a long lecture. I stumbled to my seat and listened to the monotonous tone of my teacher.
On the next day when I reached school, there was assembly in the hall. The principal announced," Josh Low , please come out on stage!" "Oh no... what did I do!" I walked up stage thinking of all the reasons did I do to get up on stage. " Everyone should follow this role model who had gave a hand to help others in need." I was flabbergasted when all the students including teachers clapped. When I was back in class, I was the most popular guy in my class. Everyone started to ask stories about me giving a hand.
Kindness makes everyone happy and it is nice to be kind. It is good to be kind so why don't you try?

39 cents for a prank
"Next station Yishun" announced the MRT speakers. Naughty Bernard and his friend William were going home together. Bernard's station is Woodlands while William's station is Yishun. When the train was approaching Yishun, Bernard asked William to solve a difficult math question, while he quickly covered William's ears. As a result, William missed his station. After the train pulled out of Yishun station, William then realised Bernard's prank. He was a little angry and scolded Bernard. At the next station, William got off and boarded the train to Yishun. Bernard wanted to play some more pranks on William so he also got off and tailed William. After saying goodbye to William, Bernard took the train back to Woodlands. But, he got "retribution", as God was watching him. Bernard was so engrossed in reading his book that he alighted at the wrong station. He even tapped his card on the card reader. He only realised that he was at the wrong station when he could not find the bus interchange. He took the train again to Woodlands. That wasted his 39 cents. "39 cents for a prank, it is really not worth it." Bernard thought. The prank player had learnt his lesson, finally.

Naughty Teenagers
Old Mr Kwang was holding a tray that contained a burger and a cup of hot tea. The popular fast-food restaurant was always crowded. When Mr Kwang spotted a seat and was about to sit down, two teenagers overtook him and sat down. Disappointed, Mr Kwang turned away to look for another seat. Just then, a man in his mid-forties saw the teenagers' act. He pitied old Mr Kwang, so he went over to reprimand the two teenagers. His voice was so loud that almost the whole restaurant could hear his voice. With red cheeks, the teenagers left the restaurant and went to look for another less crowded place to eat. Mr Kwang thanked the man and enjoyed his meal.

Worst day of my life
"I want that toy! That toy!"cried Eugene, frantically pointing to the ugliest teddy bear in the toyshop. "Why can't my brother shut up!"I muttered to myself. He started throwing a tantrum. He threw himself onto the floor banging his fists.I heard a man shout,"This is a shopping mall, not a childcare centre!" I saw people staring at us. "What if one of them is my classmate, he would go to school and tell me hey that guy's brother threw his shoe at the toystore...how embarassing." I walked over to him and sternly said,"Stop it,you're too old to do this!" "But I'm only 4" "But I don't care!" I had to drag Eugene out the mall. Eugene clinged onto the floor, outside the mall, and took a pile of mud from the soil and threw it right at my face. My face was covered with mud, with anger boiling up inside me, on the outside, I look like a madman,on the inside, I look like a crazy monster.(To be continued)

Mr Kwang thanked the man and enjoyed his meal.

I walked over to him and sternly said,"Stop it,you're too old to do this!" "But I'm only 4" "But I don't care!" I had to drag Eugene out the mall. Eugene clinged onto the floor, outside the mall, and took a pile of mud from the soil and threw it right at my face. My face was covered with mud, with anger boiling up inside me, on the outside, I look like a madman,on the inside, I look like a crazy monster.(To be continued)
